Holy Toledo! The Irish beat the Aussies last night - what a match! I don't believe there was a single Aussie supporter at the bar either, which made it quite entertaining.
We are in Christchurch and there is a lot more destruction here than I thought. The entire central business district is still fenced off to the general public and lots of buildings are closed and/or under repair. Damage in the central core is pretty extensive with all the old buildings. Our hotel even, to our surprise, is closed. I read on the web it was open, but *gasp!*, I guess not everything on the internet is true. Luckily the YMCA a block away had reopened Aug 1 and had a room available. They were closed for 5 months due to water damage and other cosmetic items. Sad.
The All Blacks are supposed to be here today and we are going to try and attend the rally. Stand in Black!
